FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to compounds that are shown to be potent cyclin/cyclin dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitors. Compounds with these properties are shown to be potent inhibitors of cell growth and proliferation. Such compounds can be used to treat the following conditions in mammals: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, cancer, restenosis, gout and other proliferative diseases involving elevated levels of cell proliferation compared to healthy mammals. Compounds of the present invention which are biaryl substituted purine derivatives are shown to be potent antiproliferative agents against a number of human transformed cell lines, and also inhibitors of human cyclin/cdk kinase complexes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Cellular Proliferation and Cancer.

[0003] The disruption of external or internal regulation of cellular growth can lead to uncontrolled proliferation and in cancer, tumor formation. This loss of control can occur at many levels and, indeed, does occur at multiple levels in most tumors. Further, although tumor cells can no longer control their own proliferation, they still must use the same basic cellular machinery employed by normal cells to drive their growth and replication.

[0004] Cyclin Dependent Kinases and Cell Cycle Regulation.

[0005] Progression of the normal cell cycle from the G1 to S phase, and from the G2 phase to M phase is dependent on cdks (Sherr, C. J., Science 274:1672-1677 (1996)). Like other kinases, cdks regulate molecular events in the cell by facilitating the transfer of the terminal phosphate of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to a substrate protein. Isolated cdks require association with a second subunit, called cyclins (Desai et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 15:345-350 (1995)). Cyclins cause conformational changes at the cdk active site, allowing ATP access and interaction with the substrate protein. The balance between its rates of synthesis and degradation controls the level of each cyclin at any point in the cycle (Elledge, S. J., et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta) 1377:M61-M70 (1998)). The influences of cyclin/cdk activity on the cell cycle and cellular transformation are summarized in Table 1.

[0006] Abnormal Cyclin/cdk Activity in Cancer.

[0007] In a normal cell, interlocking pathways respond to the cell's external environment and internal checkpoints monitor conditions within the cell to control the activity of cyclin/cdk complexes. A reasonable hypothesis is that the disruption of normal control of cyclin/cdk activity may result in uncontrolled proliferation. This hypothesis appears to hold in a number of tumor types in which cyclins are expressed at elevated levels (Table 1). Mutations in the genes encoding negative regulators (proteins) of cyclin/cdk activity are also found in tumors (Larsen, C.-J., Prog. Cell Cycle Res., 3:109-124 (1997)); (Kamb, A., Trends in Genetics, 11:136-140 (1995)). Members of the Cip family of cdk inhibitors form a ternary complex with the cyclin/cdk and require binding to cyclinA, cyclinE, or cyclinD (Hall, M., et al., Oncogene 11: 1581-1588 (1995)). In contrast, Ink family members form a binary complex with cdk4 or cdk6 and prevent binding to cyclinD (Parry, D.; et al., EMBO J., 14:503-511 (1995)).

[0008] Inhibitors of Cyclin/cdk Complexes as Potential Anticancer Agents.

[0009] Tumors with elevated cyclin/cdk activity, whether from the over expression of cyclins or the loss of an endogenous cdk inhibitor, are prime targets for potential therapies based on small molecule cyclin/cdk inhibitors. In fact, several small molecule inhibitors of cyclin/cdks are reported (Meijer, L., et al., “Progress in Cell Cycle Research,” Plenum Press: New York, 351-363 (1995)) and appear to bind at the ATP site of the kinase. Some information is known about small molecule inhibitors of other kinases, such as PKC (serine kinase) (Murray, K. J. et al., “Ann. Rep. Med. Chem.,” J. Bristol, Ed., Academic Press, Inc.: New York, Chapter 26 (1994)) and tyrosine kinases (Fantl, W. J., et al., Ann. Rev. Biochem., 62:453 (1993); Burke, T. R., Drugs of the Future, 17:119-1131 (1992); Dobrusin, E. M. et al., “Ann. Rep. Med. Chem,” J. Bristol, Ed., Academic Press Inc.: New York Chapter 18 (1992); Spence, P., Curr. Opin. Ther. Patents, 3:3 (1993)). A number of known inhibitors were obtained from commercial sources or were synthesized by literature procedures.

[0010] Purine Compounds as Cyclin/cdk Inhibitors.

[0011] There are several reports of 2,6-diamino substituted purine derivatives as cyclin/cdk inhibitors and as inhibitors of cellular proliferation. Among those are reports by U.S. Pat. No. 5,583,137 to Coe, et al., olomoucine (Vesely, J., et al., Eur. J. Biochem., 224:771-786 (1994)), roscovitine (Meijer, L., Eur. J. Biochem., 243:527-536 (1997)), WO 97/16452 to Zimmerman, Imbach, P., et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 9:91-96 (1999), Norman, T. C., et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 118:7430-7431 (1996), Gray, N. S., et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 38:1161-1164 (1997), Gray, N. S., et al., Science, 281:533-538 (1998), WO 98/05335 to Lum, et al., Schow, S. R., et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett, 7:2697-2702 (1997), U.S. Pat. No. 5,886,702 to Mackman, et al., Nugiel, D. A., et al., J. Org. Chem. 62:201-203 (1997), and Fiorini, M. T. et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 39:1827-1830 (1998). Many of these reported compounds are shown to inhibit cyclin/cdk complexes and have modest cellular proliferation inhibition properties.

[0012] The compounds of the present invention are shown to have far superior biological activities as cyclin/cdk complex inhibitors as well as inhibitors of cellular proliferation compared to those previously reported. In fact, the art (e.g., Fiorini, M. T. et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 39:1827-1830 (1998)) teaches away from compounds of this invention, claiming lack of cellular proliferation inhibition.

[0737] The compounds of the present invention, as described in Formula I, show significantly improved growth inhibition of human transformed cell lines and/or cyclin/cdk inhibition relative to compounds of the prior art. These compounds have been demonstrated to be potent growth inhibitors in dozens of human transformed cell lines. Olomoucine, a structurally related purine derivative, is a poor human transformed cell growth inhibition agent with GI₅₀ values in the 20,000-100,000 nM range over 60-transformed cell lines. By contrast, the compounds of the present invention demonstrate GI₅₀ values over 60-transformed cell lines in the <10-25,000 nM range, preferably in the <10-100 nM range over 60-transformed cell lines, and, most preferably, <10 nM across 60-human transformed cell lines. This finding is unexpected from the prior art, which specifically teaches that compounds of the present invention would not be potent human transformed cell line growth inhibitors.

[0738] The R₂ group in Formula I imparts unexpected and significant improvement in growth inhibition in human transformed cell lines, while substitution of various groups at R₃ and R₄ found in Formula I impart important features that contribute to cyclin/cdk inhibition and growth inhibition of human transformed cell lines. Specifically, the combination of the R₂ group and the substitutions within R₃ and R₄ result in compounds with superior biological activity. Compounds which are cyclin/cdk inhibitors and/or human transformed cell line growth inhibitors have utility in treating human proliferative cellular disorders.

[0938] In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method of treating a mammal with a disorder mediated by elevated levels of cellular proliferation comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of the present invention to the mammal under conditions effective to treat the disorder mediated by elevated levels of cell proliferation.

[0939] The compounds of the present invention can be administered orally, parenterally, for example, subcutaneously, intravenously, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, by intranasal instillation, or by application to mucous membranes, such as, that of the nose, throat, and bronchial tubes. They may be administered alone or with suitable pharmaceutical carriers, and can be in solid or liquid form such as, tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, suspensions, or emulsions.

[0940] Based on the results obtained in the standard pharmacological test procedures described below, the compounds of the present invention are useful as antineoplastic agents. More particularly, the compounds of the present invention are useful for inhibiting the growth of neoplastic cells, causing cell death of neoplastic cells, and eradicating neoplastic cells. The compounds of the present invention are, therefore, useful for treating solid tumors, including sarcomas and carcinomas, such as astrocytomas, prostate cancer, breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, and ovarian cancer, leukemias, lymphomas, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, and other neoplastic disease states.

[0941] In addition to the utilities described above, many of the compounds of the present invention are useful in the preparation of other compounds.

[0942] The active compounds of the present invention may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent, or with an assimilable edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in hard or soft shell capsules, or they may be compressed into tablets, or they may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, these active compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compound in these compositions may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2% to about 60% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit contains between about 1 and 250 mg of active compound.

[0943] The tablets, capsules, and the like may also contain a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch, or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose, or saccharin. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil.

[0944] Various other materials may be present as coatings or to modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar, or both. A syrup may contain, in addition to active ingredient, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye, and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.

[0945] These active compounds may also be administered parenterally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Illustrative oils are those of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, for example, peanut oil, soybean oil, or mineral oil. In general, water, saline, aqueous dextrose and related sugar solution, and glycols such as, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol, are preferred liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

[0946] The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.

[0947] The compounds of the present invention may also be administered directly to the airways in the form of an aerosol. For use as aerosols, the compounds of the present invention in solution or suspension may be packaged in a pressurized aerosol container together with suitable propellants, for example, hydrocarbon propellants like propane, butane, or isobutane with conventional adjuvants. The materials of the present invention also may be administered in a non-pressurized form such as in a nebulizer or atomizer.

[0948] General Synthetic Schemes

[0949] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by conventional methods of organic synthesis practiced by those skilled in the art. The general reaction sequences outlined below are general methods useful for preparing the compounds of the present invention and are not meant to be limiting in scope or utility.

[0950] Reaction of 2,6-dichloropurine (Formula IV) with various amines of Formula V, many of which are commercially available or prepared by literature methods or modifications of literature methods, in the presence of a polar solvent, such as ethanol, provides purines of Formula VI (General Flowsheet I, infra). Reaction of purines of Formula VI with alkyl halides (R₁-Z) in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate provides N1-alkylated purines of Formula VII. Chloride displacement of N1-alkylated purines of Formula VII with amines, thiols or alcohols of structure Formula VIII, either in neat solution or in an inert solvent such as ethanol or butanol, with or without a base such as sodium hydride as appropriate, at an appropriate temperature provides purines of Formula IX (V=NH, O, S). Transition metal-mediated cross-coupling reaction of purines of Formula Ix with boronic acid (R₂—B(OH)₂) or tin reagents (R₂—Sn(n-Bu)₃ or R₂—SnMe₃) provides purines of Formula X (V=NH, O, S). If in Formula X (Y=NH₂), then subsequent reaction of Formula X (Y=NH₂) with acid chloride (R₃COCl), or sulfonyl chloride (R₃SO₂Cl), or isocyanate (R₃NCO), or chloroformate (Cl—C(O)OR₆) reagents provides purines of Formula XI wherein Y=NHC(O)R₃, NHSO₂R₃, or NHC(O)NHR₃, or NHC(O)OR₆, respectively. On the other hand, if in Formula X, Y already is OR₁ or NHC(O)R₃ or NHSO₂R₃ or NHC(O)NHR₃ or NHC(O)OR₆, as a result of what Y started out as in Formula VIII, then this last step is unnecessary.

[0951] Reaction of purines of Formula VII, with alkenyl tin reagents of Formula XII, which are prepared by conventional methods described in the literature, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, such as Pd(0), provides purines of Formula XIII (General Flowsheet II, infra). Subsequent reaction of purines of Formula XIII with boronic acid (R₂—B(OH)₂) or tin reagents (R₂—Sn(n-Bu)₃ or R₂—SnMe₃) in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, such as Pd(0), provides purines of Formula XV. Alternatively, by switching the order of reactions dependent on the precise reactivity of the purine of Formula VII, reaction of purines of Formula VII with boronic acid (R₂—B(OH)₂) or tin reagents (R₂—Sn(n-Bu)₃ or R₂—SnMe₃) in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, such as Pd(0), provides purines of Formula XIV. Subsequent reaction of purines of Formula XIV, with alkenyl tin reagents of Formula XII, which are prepared by conventional methods described in the literature, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, such as Pd(0), provides purines of Formula XV. Finally reduction of the olefin within Formula XV provides purines of Formula X (V=CH₂).

[1169] Additional, general non-limiting syntheses of compounds of the present invention of Formula XVI, Formula XVII and Formula XVIII are shown below in General Flowsheet IV.

[1170] If in Formula X (Y=NH₂), then subsequent reaction of Formula X (Y=NH₂) with alkyl halide (R₈CH₂Z), an appropriate base, and a solvent; or reaction of Formula X (Y=NH₂) with aldehyde (R₈CHO) in the presence of a solvent and a suitable reducing agent provides purines of Formula XVI wherein Y=NHR₁, or N(R₁)₂. On the other hand, if in Formula X, Y already is NHR₁, or N(R₁)₂, as a result of what Y started out as in Formula X, then this last step is unnecessary. If in Formula XVI (Y=NHR₁), then subsequent reaction of Formula XVI (Y=NHR₁) with acid chloride (R₃COCl), or sulfonyl chloride (R₃SO₂Cl), or isocyanate (R₃NCO), or chloroformate (ClC(O)OR₆) reagents provides purines of Formula XX wherein Y=NR₁C(O)R₃, or NR₁C(O)R₅, or NR₁SO₂R₃, or NR₁C(O)NHR₃, or NR₁C(O)OR₆, respectively. On the other hand, if in Formula XVI, Y already is NR₁C(O)R₃, or NR₁C(O)R₅, or NR₁ SO₂R₃, or NR₁C(O)NHR₃, or NR₁C(O)OR₆, as a result of what started out as in Formula XVI, then this last step is unnecessary.

[1171] If in Formula X (Y=NH₂), then subsequent reaction of Formula X (Y=NH₂) with acid (PNHCH(R₆)CO₂H), in a suitable solvent in the presence of an appropriate coupling agent provides a purine derivative; which upon suitable deprotection provides purines of Formula XIX wherein Y=NHC(O)CH(R₆)NH₂. On the other hand, if in Formula X, Y already is NHC(O)CH(R₆)NH₂, as a result of what Y started out as in Formula X, then this last step is unnecessary.

EXAMPLES

[1374] Proton NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker AC 300 spectrometer at 300 MHz or a Bruker 500 MHz spectrometer and were referenced to tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. The IR spectrometer used was a single beam Perkin-Elmer Spectrum 1000 FT-IR. All IR spectra obtained were prepared in a pressed disc of KBr. All IR spectra obtained were acquired with a total of 4 accumulations at a resolution of 4.00 cm⁻¹. Melting points were obtained on a Mel-Temp II apparatus and are uncorrected. Mass spectra were obtained on either a Shimadzu QP-5000 or a PE Sciex API 150 Mass Spectrometer.

Example 1 Preparation of Compound 2

[1375] To the starting material 1 (1.0 g, 5.29 mmol) was added 4-bromobenzylamine (2.53 g, 11.4 mmol), and EtOH (11 mL). The mixture was stirred and heated at 50° C. in a round-bottomed flask and then H₂O (1 mL) and EtOH (10 mL) were added to dissolve the solids. The mixture was refluxed for 1 h. Hünig's base (3.68 mL, 21.2 mmol) was added and refluxed overnight, during which time a precipitate formed. The solution was filtered to provide a light yellow solid. The solid was dried in vacuo (1.08 g, 60%): ¹H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ 8.75 (bs, 1H), 8.15 (s, 1 H), 7.52 (d, 2 H), 7.30 (d, 2 H), 4.63 (bs, 2 H); CI MS m/z=340 [C₁₂H₉BrClN₅+H]⁺.

Example 2 Preparation of Compound 3

[1376] To the starting material 2 (1.08 g, 3.19 mmol) was added DMSO (11 mL), K₂CO₃ (2.20 g, 15.95 mmol), and 2-iodopropane (1 mL, 9.57 mmol). The solution was stirred overnight then poured into H₂O (75 mL) and stirred. Additional H₂O (25-50 mL) was added to the mixture to form a yellow solid. The stirring was continued at 0° C. The solid was filtered in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to provide 3 (0.66 g, 50%) as a white solid: mp 136-140° C.; ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃) δ 7.78 (s, 1 H), 7.49 (d, 2 H), 7.28 (d, 2 H), 6.12 (bs, 1 H), 4.90-4.70 (m, 3 H), 1.61 (d, 6 H).

Example 3 Preparation of Compound 4

[1377] To starting material 3 (1.44 g, 3.78 mmol) was added 2-amino-1-butanol (5.06 g, 56.7 mmol) and ethanol (5 mL) and the mixture was heated in a sealed tube in an oil bath at 150-160° C. for 48 h. The cooled solution was transferred to a round-bottomed flask and the ethanol was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to give 4 (0.90 g, 55%): ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃) δ 7.44-7.41 (m, 3 H), 7.23 (d, 2 H), 6.22 (s, 1 H), 5.06 (s, 1 H), 4.90 (d, 1 H), 4.78-4.68 (m, 2 H), 4.65-4.55 (m, 1 H), 3.91-3.80 (m, 2 H), 3.66-3.60 (m, 1 H), 1.66-1.47 (m, 8 H), 1.04-0.99 (t, 3 H).

Example 4 Preparation of Compound 5

[1378] To starting material 4 (0.13 g, 0.29 mmol) was added 3-acetamidophenylboronic acid (0.21 g, 1.19 mmol) and Pd(PPh₃)₄ (0.08 g, 0.07 mmol), Na₂CO₃ (2M, 0.60 mL), and toluene (5 mL). The solution was degassed with argon for 10 min then heated at 130° C. for 6 h. The cooled solution was diluted with water and then extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (3×50 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated to yield a viscous orange oil. The oil was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel and then the product crystallized upon standing to give 5 (0.06 g, 41%) as a pale yellow solid: ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃) δ 8.01-7.21 (m, 9 H), 6.48 (s, 1 H), 4.97 (d, 1 H), 4.82-4.70 (m, 2 H), 4.65-4.53 (m, 1 H), 3.98-3.25 (m, 2 H), 3.20-3.05 (m, 1H), 2.20 (s, 3 H), 1.69-1.45 (m, 8 H), 1.07-0.98 (t, 3 H).

Example 5 Preparation of Compound 7

[1379] To 4-iodobenzoic acid (52.2 g, 0.21 mol) was added CH₂Cl₂ (500 mL) and DMF (2 drops) at room temperature. Oxalyl chloride (32 g, 0.25 mol) was added dropwise in 0.5 h and stirred for 2 d. The volatiles were removed in vacuo to a volume of 150 mL to give the acid chloride and CH₂Cl₂. To a mixture of ice (500 mL) and NH₄OH (29%; 100 mL) was added the CH₂Cl₂ solution during 15 min. The resulting solids were collected, washed with CH₂Cl₂, and dried in vacuo. The solids were slurried in H₂O for 1 h. The solids were collected by filtration, washed in water and acetone, and dried in vacuo to give 7 (48 g; 92%): mp 213-216° C.

Example 6 Preparation of Compound 8

Example 254 Description of Biological Assays

[1630] A. Immunopurification of CyctinA/cdk2 and CyclinE/cdk2 Complexes.

[1631] CyclinA/cdk2 and cyclinE/cdk2 assays were carried out with cyclin/cdk complexes isolated from HeLa S-3 suspension cultures. HeLa cells were grown in spinner flasks at 37° C. in Joklik's modified minimum essential media (MEM) supplemented with 7% horse serum. After growing in medium supplemented with 2 mM thymidine for 16-18 h, cultures were arrested at the G1/S border and cyclinA/cdk2 and cyclinE/cdk2 were isolated from cell lysates by immunoprecipitation with antibodies specifically directed against each cyclin subunit. Rabbit anti-cyclinA (H-432) and the mouse monoclonal antibody against cyclinE (HE111) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Cells blocked at the appropriate stage of the cell cycle were disrupted in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 250 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40 plus protease and phosphatase inhibitors) and centrifuged at 10,000×g to remove insoluble material. To isolate cyclin/cdk complexes, 1 μg of anti-cyclin antibody was incubated with lysate from 1×10⁷ cells for 0.1 h at 4° C. Protein A-coated agarose beads were then added for 1 h to collect antibody-bound immune complexes. The immobilized cyclin/cdk complexes were then washed 4× with lysis buffer to reduce nonspecific protein binding. The complexes were then washed 1× in kinase assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT) and aliquoted into individual assay tubes.

[1632] B. Immunopurification of CyclinB/cdk1 Complex.

[1633] HeLa cells are blocked at the GI/S border by culturing in the presence of 2 mM thymidine for 20 h. The cells are then rinsed 3× in phosphate buffered saline and resuspended in regular medium. After 4 h of culture, the mitotic blocker, nocodazole is added to a final concentration of 75 ng/ml. Sixteen hours later, the cells are harvested by centrifugation, washed in PBS, and lysed in cold Lysis Buffer (50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 250 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40, 1 mM DTT, 25 μg/ml leupeptin, 25 μg/ml aprotinin, 15 μg/ml benzamidine, 1 mM PMSF, 50 mM sodium fluoride, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate) for 15 min at 1×10⁷ cells/ml. The lysate is then clarified by centrifugation at 10,000×g for 10 min. The supernatant is collected and diluted 1:5 with Lysis Buffer. Monoclonal antibody against cyclinB (GNS1) is added to the supernatant to a final concentration of 5 μg/ml and shaken at 4° C. for 2 h. The immune complexes are then collected by the addition of 200 μl of protein agarose beads for 1 h. The beads are washed 4×in lysis buffer and 1× in kinase assay buffer.

[1634] C. Protein Kinase Assays and Determination of IC₅₀ Values.

[1635] CyclinA/cdk2 assays were carried out with complexes isolated from 0.5×10⁶ cells. CyclinE/cdk2 assays were carried out with complexes isolated from 4×10⁶ cells. CyclinB/cdk1 assays were carried out with complexes isolated from 4×10⁴ cells. After centrifugation, the wash buffer was removed and the complexes resuspended in 15 μl of kinase assay buffer (kinase wash buffer+167 μg/ml histone H1). Compounds being tested for inhibition were added prior to the addition of [γ ³²P] ATP to a final concentration of 15 μM. The tubes were incubated at 30° C. for 5 min and the reactions were stopped by the addition of an equal volume of 2×SDS-PAGE sample buffer. The samples were then subjected to electrophoresis on 10% SDS-PAGE to resolve the histone H1 from other reaction components. The amount of radioactive phosphate transferred to histone H1 was quantified on a Storm Phosphorimager (Molecular Dynamics).

[1636] Prior to the protein kinase assay, test compounds were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 25 mM and were diluted to produce final concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 μM in the kinase assays. To eliminate possible effects of differences in DMSO concentration, the DMSO was kept constant at 0.04%, including the control reaction. Duplicate assays were performed at each concentration. The activity was plotted as the percent of activity in the absence of added test compound versus test compound concentration. IC₅₀ values were calculated using GraphPad Prism data analysis software.

[1637] D. Measuring the Inhibition of Cell Growth.

[1638] Growth inhibition (GI₅₀) values were measured with HeLa S-3 cells selected for growth on plastic. The procedure was based on the protocol of Skehan et al. (Skehan, P., et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 82:1107-1112 (1990), which is hereby incorporated by reference) HeLa cells were plated at 2×10⁴ cells/well in 96 well plates. One day later, a control plate was fixed by addition of TCA to 5%. After five rinses with tap water the plate was air dried and stored at 4° C. Test compounds were added to the remaining plates at 10-fold dilutions between 0.01 and 100 μM. Two days later all plates were fixed as described above. Cells were then stained by the addition of 100 μl per well of 0.4% sulforhodamine B (SRB) in 1% acetic acid for 30 min at 4° C. Wells were then quickly rinsed 5× with acetic acid (1%) and allowed to air dry. The SRB was then solubilized by the addition of 100 μl per well of unbuffered 10 mM Tris base. Dye was quantified by measuring absorbance at 490 nm on a Molecular Devices kinetic microplate reader. Growth at each inhibitor concentration relative to the untreated control was calculated according to the following equation: percent growth=100×(T-T₀)/(C-T₀), where T was the average optical density (OD) of the test wells after 2 days of treatment, T₀ was the average OD of the wells in the control plate on day 0 and C was the average OD of untreated wells. Plots of percent growth versus inhibitor concentration were used to determine the GI₅₀.

[1646] The following data in Table 9 summarize the in vivo properties of several compounds of the current invention. The protocol for the experiment is as follows. The dose-range finding study consists of four groups of three athymic mice each (four dose levels.) The compound is administered on the basis of individual animal body weight. The route is intraperitoneal (IP) and the treatment schedule is daily for 14 days (qd×14) or once every 4 days for 12 days (q4d×3). The mice were observed for survival, and body weights recorded weekly.

[1647] The efficacy study consists of three compound-treated groups (six mice/group), a positive control-treated group (six mice), and a vehicle-treated control group of 12 mice. Test compounds were administered IP under the treatment schedules listed above (qd×14 or q4d×3), whereas the positive control agent (Taxol) was administered intravenously (IV) at a dosage level of 15 mg/1 g/dose for five consecutive days (qd×5). All agents were administered on the basis of individual animal body weight. Treatment began when the implanted tumors were approximately 100 mg in size (range of 65 to 200 mg). The mice were observed daily for survival. Each tumor was measured by caliper in two dimensions and converted to tumor mass using the formula for a prolate ellipsoid (a×b²/2) and assuming unit density. Tumor measurements and animal body weights were recorded twice weekly. Antitumor activity was assessed by the delay in tumor growth of the treated groups in comparison to the vehicle-treated control group, partial and complete regressions, and tumor-free survivors.
